Both President Trump and the National Rifle Association said they had a “great” meeting Thursday evening at the White House, one day after the president roiled gun rights advocates when he suggested illegally taking away guns from dangerous people.

In an enthusiastic tweet, Trump said he had a “Good (Great) meeting in the Oval Office tonight with the NRA!”   Continue reading “NRA after ‘great’ meeting: Trump supports ‘strong’ due process, doesn’t want gun control”

It apparently isn’t enough for the pharmaceutical cartels to hold a total monopoly on all things medicine. Emerging pharmaceutical research is now trying to embed QR codes inside drug pills that are capable of tracking whether or not people take their prescriptions – which means billions of dollars in new profits for drug companies.

They’re giving it more palatable terms like “personalized” medicine – a supposed move away from the mass production model of drug production that send thousands of generic white, blue, and red pills down an assembly line and into nondescript bottles. But the infusion of barcodes into pharma drugs means more power and control for the legal drug lords.   Continue reading “Drugs as edible bar codes? Big Pharma is set to make billions more off our suffering”

Once upon a time airline ticket prices were based purely on demand.

Then, the internet happened – and the way commercial carriers calculated their fares became infinitely more complex with cookies and account details.

Now, according to aviation experts, that looks set to continue with another tactic called ‘dynamic pricing’, based on wealth.   Continue reading “Airline tickets could soon be priced on what passengers can AFFORD”

Thomas “Bud” Brown makes his way out the back door and stops a few steps to the right, raising a trembling arm, pointing at something. It’s where he found his boy slumped against the cold back wall of the house around 7:15 a.m. on the last day of 2016, bleeding out.

Brown is telling the story now, about how he was sitting in his chair in the living room when he heard the shot. His son Jarred, 28, had just picked up Bud’s Taurus PT-145 Millennium Pro pistol and headed out to do some shooting near the house in Griffin, Ga., with his best friend, Tyler Haney. Bud figured Jarred had fired at something for the fun of it, like he did sometimes. Continue reading “How Defective Guns Became the Only Product That Can’t Be Recalled”

Six years ago, Jane Mendillo, then head of Harvard’s endowment, spent a week in Brazil, flying in a turboprop plane to survey some of the university’s growing holdings of forest and farmland. That year, Harvard began one of its most daring foreign adventures: an investment in a sprawling agricultural development in Brazil’s remote and impoverished northeast. There, workers would produce tomato paste, sugar, and ethanol, as well as energy after processing crops. The profits, in theory, could outstrip those of conventional stocks and bonds and keep the world’s richest university a step ahead of its peers.   Continue reading “Harvard Blew $1 Billion in Bet on Tomatoes, Sugar, and Eucalyptus”

ATLANTA (AP) — Pro-gun Georgia lawmakers Thursday took revenge on Delta for cutting ties to the National Rifle Association, killing a proposed tax break on jet fuel that would have saved the airline millions.

A sweeping tax-cut bill that the Republicans had amended to strip out the fuel-tax exemption passed the GOP-controlled House and Senate by wide margins, just days after Delta reacted to the school massacre in Florida by saying it would no longer offer discount fares to NRA members.   Continue reading “Pro-gun Georgia lawmakers punish Delta for spurning the NRA”

SUNRISE, Fla., Feb 27 (Reuters) – Reanna Frauens, a lifelong gun enthusiast and a proud member of the Markham Skeet, Trap & Sporting Clays Club, is about the same age as many of the 17 victims killed by a shooter with an assault rifle at a Florida high school about a dozen miles away.

But unlike many of the survivors of the massacre, the 16-year-old sees a nascent, student-led campaign for tighter gun controls as a threat to her rights under the U.S. Constitution.  Continue reading “‘It’s a lifestyle’ – Teens at Florida shooting club defend guns”

A caged gorilla statue that was removed from a Texas park earlier this week after the city received complaints the structure was “racially insensitive” will be put back — without the black cage, the mayor told Fox News on Thursday.

The gorilla statue that has been at Corsicana’s Community Park for nearly two decades was removed Monday. Corsicana Mayor Don Denbow told FOX4 he received about 45 complaints from people saying the 500-pound gorilla statue, which is protected by a black cage, was “potentially racially insensitive.”   Continue reading “Caged gorilla statue called ‘racially insensitive’ will return to Texas park”

National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch criticized on Thursday President Trump’s suggestion that law enforcement should seize guns from potentially dangerous people “first [and] go through due process second.”

“Due process must be respected,” Loesch said in an interview with “Fox and Friends.” “You have to harden schools and protect kids, but due process must be respected.”   Continue reading “NRA’s Loesch rips Trump’s idea of seizing guns without ‘due process’”
